Given a moment of time to get to know her, one might venture to call Noemy Wilder a very lucky girl.

Born in Haywards Heath, the third child and only girl, to a Brazilian mother and English father, she showed an almost immediate zest for life that made her nearly impossible to keep up with. Rambunctious and free-spirited, the girl often found herself in trouble in school for allowing her mind to wander to fantastical daydreams of far away lands instead of paying attention to her lessons; and with a personality so big it was no wonder that at the age of fourteen and with no prior acting experience she was able to land the role of Effy Stonem on a new E4 series called Skins. The show would later go on to become widely known for casting unknown teenagers in roles instead of well-known older actors, and would help to launch the careers of several of its cast members.

Though the first series saw Emy with very few speaking lines, which most people considered a real challenge for the role, Noemy was able to capture the spirit of her character easily and was so well received, she went on to become the only cast member to work for the first four series, eventually leaving to pursue bigger projects but returning to reprise her role as Effy in the seventh and final series of Skins, called "Fire".

While filming of Skins continued, Noemy took small parts in several other projects, starting with the St. Trinian's sequel; a role she was notoriously given at the recommendation of then up-and-coming actor Sloane Sedler. Though most of the movies she was a part of weren't box office gold, her talent as a young actress was often praised and in 2011 she was given the opportunity to work as the mermaid Syrena in the fourth sequel to the Pirates of the Carribean series. The movie was a box office smash despite being met with extremely mixed critical reviews, and opportunities began opening up for the young actress.

It was a big decision to make, but after filming in various locations in America for I Am Number Four, Noemy made the leap stateside and moved to Los Angeles. The move was the exact push her career needed, as she was quickly cast in three new films - an independent drama called Spring Breakers, a bit part in a summer movie called Now You See Me, and the role that would soon make her face known in households all over as Tris in the new film series Divergent.

If you asked her now, Noemy would have to agree that she is, in fact, very lucky. But luck is only half the battle, as she continues on her path and hopes to remain happy and successful in her career.
